Found this depiction of Palaemon, Leucothea and Triton sailing together and it's killing me, why does Triton look like a step-father teaching his step-son how to fish? 😭

Heracles: Okay, if we’re all gonna die, there’s some stuff I wanna get off my chest…Atalanta, for the first month of the voyage I thought your name was Atlanta. You know, like the town? No one corrected me!!

Orpheus: I only love SOME of my songs and the guilt is KILLING ME!!!

Palaemon: Sometimes I use big words, and I don’t actually know what they mean. I’m supposed to be the smart guy! If I’m not smart, then who am I?!

Caeneus: I’m not actually laid back, I’m insanely stressed out 24/7!!

(a small child sneaks into Orange’s house, thinking they won’t notice. He has black hair with white streaks and one green eye and one blue eye. He looks just like his mother. His mother who is always looking for him. Looking at him Orange thinks that Leu’s children may have looked a bit like him too, but they died long ago and she lost Leu too, but now she has to figure out what to do with Palaemon, Leucothea’s son. Before they have much time to think, the child runs full speed behind Orange, as if to knock her over)

@leucothea-of-the-lost

(Orange heard the rushing feet behind, to swing their body away to the side last second, and grab the small child by behind his shirt)

There you are. Your mother must be looking for you. What are you doing out here?

Melicertes was a Boeotian prince as the son of King Athamas and Ino, daughter of King Cadmus of Thebes.

Ino, pursued by her husband, who had been driven mad by Hera because Ino had brought up the infant Dionysus, threw herself and Melicertes into the sea from a high rock between Megara and Corinth, and both were changed into marine deities: Ino as Leucothea, noted by Homer, Melicertes as Palaemon.

Palaemon appears for the first time in Euripides' Iphigeneia in Tauris, where he is already the "guardian of ships". The paramount identification in the Latin poets of the Augustan age is with Portunus, the Roman god of safe harbours, memorably in Virgil's Georgics.
